Eddie Hinton - Rose's Cantina, Atlanta '79 (2016)

Considered by many to be the world's best blue-eyed soul singer, Eddie Hinton wrote, produced, arranged, and played on one more classic records than many realize. His guitar is heard on albums by Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Bobby Womack, Dusty Springfield, and countless other iconic greats, and while he's not as well known by name, his contribution to music will never be forgotten. This 1979 recording finds him guesting with the legendary Nighthawks at Rose's Cantina in Atlanta, Georgia. It's an extravaganza of pumped-up soul and R&B, with broken strings and adrenaline, down to the bone, presented here in its entirety as originally broadcast on WLIR-FM. Professionally remastered sound; includes background liners, interviews, and rare archival photos.
